COPE Ontario Office Closure

COPE Staff continue to work remotely to ensure our members are represented and workplace issues are addressed.  Virtual meetings are held with our members and employers, including negotiations, arbitrations, bargaining unit meetings, etc., to ensure the safety of our staff and members.  We continue to work to ensure the safety of our members in their workplaces, including the ability to work remotely where possible. To ensure the ongoing access to training for members, we will be launching online workshops this month. 

In the event of a workplace emergency or you have questions about your rights and responsibilities during the provincial response to COVID-19, please email [email protected]. A staff member of COPE Ontario will ensure that you receive a response promptly.

Stay safe, practice proactive isolation and remember to wash your hands. Connect with us online, Facebook or Twitter for updates.

THE LONG ROAD TO RECONCILIATION

On this coming Monday, many of us will be wearing orange shirts in honour of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and all that it represents about the tragic history of residential schools.

Residential schools are not a problem of the past, but a profound wrong that lives in the present through the trauma created by an official policy of our governments that was rooted in attempted cultural genocide – a policy to destroy Indigenous cultures and identity forever.

Some of us have the day off, others will be working. Many of us will be attending special events, either through work or in the community.

Wherever we may find ourselves, let us make it a day of reflection in which we remember the thousands of young people who were torn away from their families and communities, and acknowledge how far we have yet to go on the long road to reconciliation.
